how to protect android app from .apk backup apps


How to prevent an android app from the apps which can make backup of .apk file.

Apps like astro file manager lets user to do so, menu: tools -> backup more info here and one can backup any installed apk on sdcard.

Later on, i can rename it to .zip and extract it, and can easily steal DRAWABLE / ASSET from that app.

My question is, How do i protect my app from such backup?


Solution

  • There is not, as far as I'm aware, a full-proof method to stop this. But even so, I would always ask myself before going to the effort of trying whether I even really care if some one tries to steal something from my app. I spend my effort on making sure any data is secure.
